Sigh... sorry not had time to test so you ended up being the guinea pig!

http://docs.python.org/library/collections.html#collections.deque
This is a python2.6 feature and I'm not sure how to make it all work
with older versions of python without adding complexity to the code.

And since the current code drops a number of workarounds for older
versions of libraries, maybe now is a good time to say goodbye to
python2.5...

Sorry I can't be more helpful than this but I am trying to clean up the
code so spending my time introducing workarounds for outdated binaries
doesn't really fit :/
